The Best Google IO 2019 Show Wasn't Even There

The Best Google IO 2019 Show Wasn't Even There
We got an update on Google's Augmented Reality projects during Google IO 2019, and that sounds like a lot of fun and games, with some promising developments even for casual users of Google products. This includes people who use only Google search. During the conference, a presenter explained how research reports would be added to search results: search for shark information and you can click a button to access a lite camera app and place a 3D model of the Shark in real time . Life, like to compare the size. Another example showed a flexed and relaxing skeletal and muscular arm, something much easier to see from different angles in RA than in a single image. After the keynote, we ended up in one of the Google IO 2019 sandboxes, which is packed with fun exhibits for AR, all featuring different fun applications of AR technology that, strictly speaking, n & rsquo; It didn't exist at all. Click through the gallery to see them all!

3D models from a browser.

Like the shark during the opening speech, this exhibition featured a 3D model that you can upload from a website and place on a stylish camera-style lens. In this case, a NASA website detailing the Curiosity Rover included a button to expand this app-style screen to allow users to place their own galactic rover in real space.

This is a cool and simple way to view objects in real space, which is especially useful if you resize them correctly. But who doesn't want to pinch and zoom a cute mini-rover?

Garden ar

This exhibition presents a common digital garden. When you join a "room" with other users, you will see a garden with 3D flowers, apparently the ones everyone has planted.

The performance was not perfect because it was impossible to immediately show the flowers from one display to another right after planting them, but the idea is solid. What if you could add to everyone's digital group projects, or play a common game, such as a persistent and gigantic Pokemon Go game?

All neon lights to print.

Ok this one is not too revolutionary, they all used a Snap filter. This exhibit featured neon glasses and hair on the face like a strange AR mask for an EDM concert.

Still, it's great to have an overlay that plays with light - this slider on the right darkens the screen until only the neon glasses and hair remain.

Illuminated mannequins

That's nice: a 3D mannequin with an adaptive HDR overlay that you can turn on and off. Without this, the model looks very computer generated... ie irrelevant.

The HDR layer simulates the lighting effects appropriate for the room. turn it on and the 3D mannequin looks more like being in the same space under the same lighting. This is a small but surprisingly effective layer of verisimilitude.

BaristaR

The last on our list is the simplest, which has placed an educational animation on an inert machine. This exposure guided the user through the steps of, in this case, preparing a good cup of coffee.

< p class="slide-description">The applications here are obvious: using your phone, you can get instructions or instructions that can be updated just like updating the software. In fact, Google has used this feature in its official IO app as a navigation overlay to help people get around during Google IO 2019.
